Coffin Talk
« on: March 26, 2008, 10:36:27 PM »
I'm writing this post from my bedroom, and I'm drinking a beer after a hard day at work.

This topic has already seen some discussion under a thread called the ghoulish voice, but I thought last night's EXTENDED edition of "coffin talk" deserved it's own thread. I'm not necessarily saying I'd like to hear it again, but that was some amazing radio performance art.

You know how AC/DC essentially has only one song, but it's a really great song? The coffin talk show is sort of like that.  Coffin talk is three chords and the truth. Or one chord and the funny. Or something like that.

I'm going to log on to gawker and see if anybody's spotted Jack Nicholson shopping for a coffin ...

This topic is stupid.  You should all shop for a coffin.

Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

Who actually shops for their own coffin?  That would be so depressing.

Oh, I dunno - maybe with a little bit of a sunnier disposition, Mr. Sploops, it could be ...empowering.

Anyone else thinking about the Simpsons episode where they go to get a free autopsy, and Bart gets trapped in a coffin, and there's a camera in the coffin, and so they watch him trying to get out. And then Homer asks if the display has picture-in-picture, and the coffin salesman says "Why of course, this is the Contempo".

No?

I need a life.

There's a line in one of the Jim Jarmusch movies, the one about the accountant in the old west, uttered by one of the characters.  He threatens someone with a gun (or something) and then says, "...or you're gonna be pushin' up daisies out of a pine box." 

I love that line.
